Philips EE2007 + EE2008 was a complete black / green television and as a child you could only dream of it.
Even as an adult you can still dream of it because it is still priceless.
So let's make something ourselves. We start with the line oscillator, the coil is in K7 and K8 and a PCB is milled in no time.
The line oscillator works beautifully so let's move on.
China was the country where you could have something made, such as a print for the picture tube unit.
The winding data for the transformer found on a German side.
And experiment with this.
Many pulses measured.
Many more pulses measured.
Even at different supply voltages.
Well this was an experiment.
Adjust some tension.
Time for some soldering.
Parts on the PCB.
connect a Picture tube on it. And light in the picture tube.
Gives an idea of what's coming from China.
What tests left and right.
The loose setup for the tests.
And yes there is light coming out.
Print assembled.
Picture tube on it.
Everything seems to work.
A test of the deflection etc.
The complete picture tube unit.
The print side of the picture tube unit.
And this is the picture. It turns out that the transformer is not working properly after all. This is something for later to find out where the problem is.
If you build things yourself, you can also modify things. In this case, instead of a channel selector, I placed two channel selectors on the PCB. The EE black slide switch is now a UHF VHF switch. And a multi-turn potentiometer placed on the place of the tuning capacitor with the same button again. Indicates that your TV is fully tunable. The connectors of the channel selector match the template on the chassis with some extra connectors.
The mid-frequency comes from a normal all-transistor b/w TV from Philips, which was also used by Philips for the construction box.
And sometimes measuring something quickly gives an idea of how well something works.
The transistor PCB is also made by myself.
And a 75 ohm antenna input works great.
And here the finished TV.
The surprise is an original picture tube unit for a reasonable price.
Beautiful, but I have never built the sound part. I just had the parts.
Enjoy.
In this movie a demo of tuning the TV.
